I don't understand.
Do you want to invoke a program in the current directory? This is achieved by just saying "./foo", where "foo" is the name of the script.
Or do you want to insert the contents of another file into the script? To do that in vi, you run, from command mode, ":r FILE". The contents of FILE will be inserted into the current file.DISTRO=Arch
